Took my 09 Fat Bob out last night for an hour drive. Found out today the police contacted my home to speak with me. First thing across my mind was the VH BR was to loud!

I lost my license plate right in front of the station. Why can't they make 4 holes on the stock for a license plate? I've asked this question before but I guess I can drill two holes at the top. I don't want the smoked LED lights. I already replaced mine with a regular smoked lens for the brake light.

 

My first thought would be, like yours, and concern about the BR loudness.

Did they give you a ticket for losing the plate?

 

I haven't picked up the plate yet. Doing that after work. I'll update if I get fined.

 

The stock license plate holder is chit. I believe it's that way on purpose so you'll be practically forced to buy one with 4 holes as your first accessory purchase.

I went with the JP Cycles laydown/curved version and am reasonably happy with it.

If you don't want to spend any money, blue locktite should do the trick. Lots of people here have fabbed their own homebrewed laydown holders using the stock parts, too.

Cheers,
J

 

I try not to drive by police stations.

 

Why? The cops are never there. Now driving by a donut shop...

 

+1 on that brotha!

 

I got the chrome HD license plate frame. Stiffens the whole thing up real tight.

 

Geez....might have to say thank you to them.... can't see how you would get fined for something like that happening. Seems like it was decent of them to call also as they could have just thrown it in a pile of lost plates somewhere, and then you have to go through the lost license plate process with the DMV, and pay to get another registration.

WBeem did you ever wonder why some comments draw the attention of LEO's?? Certainly seems like these guys were trying to be decent... obviously after running the plate through the DMV, they knew it belonged on a Harley Davidson.....

 

Buy some decent licence plate bolts,advance auto sells stainless steel bolts with locknuts and they come with a special allen wrench (anti-theft) $4.
